    Made up fact, but a riddle nevertheless....Which modern day saying is a derivation of an old Eskimo saying that was an admonition against building a fire in a boat while out hunting whales, seals, etc?

    I'll provide a clue, the old saying was "You can't have your kayak and heat it".

    You'd be closer if you took that apple and made a cake.

    You can’t have your cake and eat it.

    Which is a saying I’ve never understood - if I buy a cake, it’s mine and I intend to eat it....
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    That's correct. I think it means you can't eat your cake and keep it. Similarly you can't be in a kayak and heat at the same time, you can only have one or the other.
